GREA PISMO 350 - Greece and the European Union

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Description:

This is a course about contemporary Greece, focusing on the country's process of integration in the European Union (formerly European Community, EC). From her original application for associate status in the late 1950s and her membership in 1981 through the present, Greece's politico-economic development has been profoundly shaped by the exigencies of European integration. The course examines both the history of European unification and the development and scope of contemporary European Union institutions and common policies. The process of 'europeanization' of national politics and socio-economic policies is also assessed. Classes begin with an introduction to the EU followed by a brief historical overview of Greece's process of integration in the EC/EU. The third unit explores the country's Europeanization, concentrating on state institutions and government policies. Finally, the fourth section of the course looks at present and future challenges of EU integration and their relevance for Greece. (Athens, Greece, http://www.arcadiacenter.edu.gr/)
